Nerdy girl throws the party of 1987—what could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler: everything)
Betty has a crush on hunky college football player Ricky. Unfortunately she also has glasses, braces, a lisp, and is a social reject...but it’s 1987 and what’s a girl to do? Throw a huge graduation party to get Ricky's attention, duh! With the aid of the school's popular girls, who undoubtedly have ulterior motives, Betty hosts the event of the year while her parents are away.
Costume

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Barrett Blade also appears in the film as Betty's dad, presumably to save on casting budget.
This film directly riffs on 80s teen classics like 'Can't Buy Me Love' and 'She's All That,' but with significantly more adult content.
